The success of an arrangement depends on the arranger's musical technique, good taste, and his or her ability to enhance the music in a way that is pleasing to both performers and listeners. To this end, arrangers often modify and stylize a piece of music to the extent that they nre adding their own musical ideas. In this way, arranging may involve a certain amount of composition.

There are many clements to consider in arranging music: form, instrumenta­tion, style, tonality, melody, harmony, rhythm, etc. We will begin with a discussion of form.

Form Form, in music, is the structure and shape of musical ideas and the planned

design in which these areas are repeated, contrasted; and/or varied. To determine the form of a piece of music, one must be principally concerned with its melodic and harmonic content. Form in music may be considered both in relation to the shorter and separate parts of a piece and !O a piece as a whole. In this course, we will consider:

song form as it relates to jazz, rock, and popular music, and

arr-angement form (how the various sections of an arrangement are put together).

A. SONG FOR!'1

To understand song form we must not only consider melodic and harmonic structure but also lyric structure. Although form will vary from song to song, there are several typical form models that are often used by songwriters. Diagrams of these form models are used to graphi­cally represent the form of a song. While letters A, B, C, etc. and a, b, c, etc. are used to represent a song's melodic and harmonic structure, there are additional terms used to describe songs with lyrics. The follOWing is a discussion of these terms and form diagrams showing their use.

1. Verse and chorus

In older song forms, particularly folk music, cacll verse represents a co-equal subdivision of the total lyric structure of the song. The same ~elody is used for each succeeding verse in the song.

~frc Note: In this song form each verse often ends with a refrain

(see refrain).

,1. In simple binary, or two r;lrt, song form, tlte Vl'rse is followed by the chorus. The melody, harmony, ;llld lyrics of the chorus are different from the melodv, harmony, and lyrics of the verse. When· this musical: form is repeated, each subsequent verse has d"iffterent lyrics while the lyrics of the chorus remain the same.

Note: \-T1Iile binary song form is often used by contemporary popular songwriters, many contemporary pop songs contain additional material which. provides additional musical and lyrical contrast to the verse apdchorus. This additional material is called either a primary or a transitional bridge (see bridge).

b. In complex binary song form, the verse and chorus are often longer and more elaborate (both lyrically and musically) than the verse and· chorus of ~i~ple binary song form. Here, the verse functions specifically as an introduction to the chorus and is called an introductory verse. The chorus is the main body of the song which may be repeated in part or in full without the verse.

Not'e: Until recently, complex bi,nary form was the preferred form of American songwriters when writing show tunes [or theatre productions.

2. Bridge

In standards, shdw tunes, and jazz tllnes, the bridge is the contrasting ulusical idea"that occurs specifically in the "b" section of an a a b a chorus. The b1;"idge provides the necessary contrast to, o'r "release" from the "a" sections.

Note: In most instrumental jazz tunes, the introductory verse does not exist.

In contemporary music, there are two kinds o[ bridges: the primary bridge and the transitional bridge. The primary bridge is a complete musical and lyrical ~tatement in which material different from either the verse or the chorus is introduced. The transitional ~ridge is a short musical passage ~it~in th~ binary song form, which connects the verse and the chorus and w,hich provides added musical and lyrical impetus toward the chor'us ..' '

J. Blues form

'1'r;1(11t101l:1I I>llle~ ,iollgs ;Ir<: wrllLL'1I JII ;1 12 !>;Il" tvrlll willi a unique melodic and harmonic structure. While blues melodies are distinctive in their use of "blue notes", blues harmonies follow, or 3rc variations on, tile following standnrd blues cllord pattern.

I7 Tl.7 I7 rI.7 17 77 r17 I7 (1:7) ,,((rrourflrir rrolttc rrorrrrlir rrrr flIP~" " I' " 'I " "I ,,~' j •, "I ' " ~ n "It ' "I ' '"~ " "I)

While many older "rock-and-roll" songs strictly follow this 12 bar blues form, contemporary pop song writers often incorporate blues melodies and harmonies in a "verse-chorus" format.

4. Hook

Since 1960, the expression "hook" has come to mean the principal. musical and lyrical component of a pop song. It is the p:lrt of the song that the casual listener most easily remembers and therefore, for marketing purposes, is usually the part of the song that generates the song title. Although the "hook" may occur anywhere in the song form, it is usually found in the chorus so as to allow frequent repetition and musical emphasis.

5. Refrain

In older songs, particularly folk and gospel music, the refrain is the phrase in the lyric that is repeated at intervals of the song.

In show tunes and jazz standards written in complex binary form, the term "refrain" is synonymous with chorus.

In contemporary popular music, the refrain is a type of "hook" that is found at the end of each verse.

1). ARRANGENENT FORM

- It is the arranger's responsibility to present the essential formatic elements of a song in a way that:

- is exciting and provocative for the listener - fulfills a time-frame predetermined by the performer or

record producer and - preserves the song's musical (and lyrical) integrity.

To achieve these ends, arrangers often: - manipulate the song form in order to bring out a song's

best elements - repeat the song form to allow [or additional instrumental

or vocal variations and/or improvised solos and - add to the song form by composing new sections called

introductions, interludes and endings or tags.

A _~ is a repetitive music3l idea which is built into the conclusion of an arrangement. A tag serves to delay the ending.

d. arranger's chorus

In an arranger's chorus, the arranger composes over the form of the song in such a way as to provide a satisfactory musical summation of the piece a~d often the musical climax. In a sense, the arranger becomes the improviser (on paper). An arranger's chorus, if used, will normally be found towards the end of an instrumental jazz arrangement. Arranger's choruses are r<lre in :lrrangcments for voc:llists.

c. solo chorus (or solo section)

A solo chorus or section occurs in an arrnngcment when :111 Lmlividu;ll instrumcnt.,list or vocnJist spont:lIH·ollsl.y ilJlprovises original_ musical lli-e;l:> OVCI- tll(' entire form or part of the form of the song.

Anticinations A. ANALYSIS OF ANTICIPATIONS

In contemporary idioms, anticipation is a rhythmic alteration of melody in which an on-the-beat note is attacked either half-a­beat early (an eighth note anticipation) or a quarter-of-a-beat early (a sixteenth note anticipation). The result is melodic syncopation.

Harmonic anticipation occurs when there is a new chord change on the beat following the anticipation. Harmonic anticipations are arranged for the rhythm section in a variety of ways:

1) The entire rhythm section anticipates the harmony of the following chord creating a rhythm section "kick".

2) The guitar and/or keyboards anticipate the harmony of the following chord while the bass remains on the bea~

3) The entire rhythm section plays on the beat, in effect, disregarding the harmonic anticipation in the melody.

B. ~1i\N 1l'U r.ATION OF MELODIC RHYTHM

Each nrusical style employs uniquely different melodic rhythms. Arr;lI1gL'I-s oftcn modify a song's IIIcloLlic rhythm in order to:

J) betler adapt it to the musical style being employed in on arrangement, or

2) suit their own musical taste.

I'/hile :lI1ticipD.tion is a commonly used rhythmic device in the lIIanipulation of melodic rhythm, so is delayed attack. A delayed att,'lck occurs when an on-the-beat melody note (usu;llly ,'l half note on beats 1 or 3) is attacked a half-a-heat late.

1) the range und technical idiosyncr:lsies of each rhythm section instrument, and

2) the proper notation for each rhythm section instrument and the level of notational specificity appropriate for the style of the arrangement.

.­Note: Non-specific kick notation, or "cues" (shown above) are used on drum parts for most jazz styles when the arranger desires to allow the player the maximum freedom to interpret rhythmic accents. A drummer may, in fact, choose not to play certain rhythms notated in this manner as part of his or her interpretation.

C. CYMBAL ACCENTS AND RlIYTIIl'IS OVER TU1E:

(~) x's with stems up which are placed above the staff, are used to indicate rhythmic patterns or accents to be played on a specifically labeled cymbal. These cymbal parts can be incorporated in a time feel when placed over slashes.

E. FILLS:

The word "fill" followed by a horizonta.l dotted line and concluded witl} a downward stroke is used to indicate a short improvised drum solo of anywhere from one beat to as much as two bars duration. The word "solo fill" is used to indicate a drum fill that is played without accompanying music.

Page 31: Berklee Arranging 1

G. 3-PART DRUM NOTATION

A 3-part drum notation comprised of bass drum, snare drum and cymbal is advised when a verbal indication does not adequately express the desired drum feel. The snare drum part and the cymbal part are stemmed together to avoid an overly complex part. After a few bars of this system is used, slashes with the word "simile" or bar repeat signs can be used to indicate a continuation of the same beat or pat~ern.

The Bass I. TilE I NS'l'HlI~IEN'I':

The bass is a transposing instrument. The written range Is one octave higher than the sounding, or concert, range.

Concert Range:

The bass is always notated in the written range even on a concert score. The hass has four strings that are tuned to the following pitches. (Alternate tunings of the E string are possible, but rarely used.)

Written:

A. TYPES OF AVAILABLE BASSES:

1. Acoustic bass:

The term areo is used to indicate the bass is to be played with a bow and-piZzicato (pizz) when played with the fingers.

2. Electric bass:

b) fretless

A. 1110 first note played in the bass at a point of chord change is usually the root. Playing the root helps clarify the chord progression. ~len an inversion or hybrid voicing is i.ndicated. lise the prescribed function at the poinL of chord change (i .l' .• C7/Hb bass or C:/llb bass).

B. Other chord tones may be used freely once the root has been established. The 5th is the most common alternate choice.

C. Non-chord tones may be used as p;lssing tone::> or in other ,Ipproach note patterns. These non-chord tones mllst resolve Lo chord Lones in chrollwtic or diatonIc stepwise motion.

I J I. S'I'YI.I·:S:

The bass helps to establish the appropriate feel of the music. Each musical style (swing, latin, rock, ballad, etc.) employs a uniquely different bass line rhythm and pattern of notes. The following examples demonstrate several commonly used styles.

The above example demonstrates the following: 1) In the introduction, the bass plays the roots of the chords

in a rhythm that is concerted for the entin~ band.

2) At letter A the bass plays a swing, or "walking" bass line, consisting entirely of quarter notes with the exception of four rhythm section kicks at A6, AID, A12 and A14. Note the predominant stepwise motion including both diatonic and chromatic passing tones.

3) At A13 - A17 the bass plays pedal tones (indicated in the chord symbols) in a rhythm that is concerted for the entire rhythm section.

35.

Page 40: Berklee Arranging 1

The example above demonstrates the following:

1) In bars 1-4 a bossa nova bass line in its purest form. Note the consistent dotted quart~r note-eighth note' rhythm and the specific alternation between the root and the 5th.

2) In bars 5-6 and 13-14, two of the many variations of bossa nova bass lines that are played in a variety of "latin" styles.

3) In bars 8, 12, 15 and 16, the pattern is altered so that the bass will accent the roots of chords in a rhythm that is concerted for the entire band.

--....

36.

Page 41: Berklee Arranging 1

The example above demonstrates the following:

1) In bars Bl - B4 a samba bass line in its purest form with the exception of anticipations. Note that this bass style is really a bossa nova pattern played at twice the tempo.

2) In bars Al - A4 one of virtually endless variations that are played in a variety of samba feel styles.

3) In bars A7 - A8 the samba pattern is altered to accommodate rhythm section accents.

Note: Because the samba and bossa nova bass lines may be identical except for tempo, samba music is often notated in cut time. The example above could be notated as follows:

AltllOugh tllere are many different roc.:k feels <.Ind Hty.lcS. there <.Ire elements of bass part writing that are common to Inost rock variations.

1) In ex.~mple 114. the root of the chord is the only function of the chord used to construct the purt. with the ~xccption of the 8th bar.

2) In example #5, a short melodic pattern that defines the chord change is repeated in a rhythmic pattern that remains constant throughout a particular section of the arrangement. It is Important lhal the bass rhythm Is conHisLenl wilh llll' hass drulII rhyllllll or the drulll scL p.lrL.

Emi7 ex.

Although there are many different commercial funk and funk-fusion styles and feels. again there are elements of bass part writing that arc common to all the variations.

Noll'; wid ll' rock hal>s pan::; tYIlJc;llly l'lIIpl,)y eighth Iloll' r-i;y-thms, funk bass parts typic;ll ly employ sixteenth notc rhythms which are determined by the melodic and harmonic rhythms that are unique to each different tune. While rock bass parts typically sustain or repeat the roots of l:hord:>, funk hass parts arc sp:lrse.ly written with short percussive attacks th:lt arc often played with a "slap" technique.

2) Example 117 demonstrates how funk-fusion bass parts are typically IIldre ;l<.:l ive both rhythmic:!lly alld melod i.e:! I I y. These bass lines arc many times one of the most import;lnt c lemcnts of the music and define the character of the whole ;lrrangcmcnt. funk-fusion bass parts often employ a rhythmic ostinato figure that remains constant throughout each section of an arrangement and is synchronized to some degree with the bass drum of the drum set part.

'):~-

The e;,amp I e above demonstrates a commercial ball ad bass part which employs dotted quarter note-eighth note and/or double dotted quarter note-sixteenth note rhythms. Again the root of the chord is used exclusively (with the possible exception of fills or melodic passages).

A. PLAYING CHANGES;

Slashes are used to indicate the number of beats each chord receives and that the player should construct his or her own bass

Time slashes with chord symbols may be used when the arranger desires to allow the playet'the maximum freedom to re.,ct spont.,neously to the lIlusic. This is part.icularly conunon when the bass player is supporting improvised solos in most jazz styles.

C. WRITTEN BASS PARTS:

In most musical situations it is preferable to construct a specifically written part in the indicated style. Note: ~1ile many styles are currently played on both electric and acoustic bass, other styles, especially funk, contemporary rock and the more active latin feels are played exclusively on the electric bass. This is due to the fact that the electric bass allows for much more rapid "guitaristic" playing than does the acoustic bass as well as the thumb slap and pop techniques so typical of the contemporary electric bass sound.

Slashes are used to indicate the number of beats each chord receives and that the player should play these chords in the labeled feel at his or her discretion.

Camping notation is uscu when the arrallger de:;ircs to allow the player the maximum freedom to react spontaneously to the other rhythm section players and when specific voicings and rhythmic patterns are not demanded by the music.

2. Playing chords with a specific rhythm:

Rhythmic notation, stems down (shown below), is used to indicate that the chord changes are to be played with a specific rhythm.

C. SYN'I'IJI';S rZlms

All synthesizers are concert instruments with an unlimited range. Unlimited range is achieved by electronically controlling thl' rcgistrOltion fo the instrumcnt. Pitches in vnrlous octaves may Ill' produced by dl'presslng any key Olnd scllilli', thl' .... ppropri:ltl' controlR.

2. ~lolllJphonic and polyphonic synthesizers:

The number of notes that can be sounded simultaneously vary from synthesizer to synthesizer. Monophonic synthesizers can play only one pitch at a time. Some polyphonic synthesizers can play any number of voices simultaneously. It is important that the arranger be aware of the capabilities of the synthesizer for which he or she is writing.

3. Pedals:

All synthesizers allow for the use of pedals which control a variety of effects such as: volume, sustain and timbre.

4. Pitch control:

Most synthesizers are capable of pitch bending, portamento and vibrato.

5. Tone control and special effects:

All synthesizers are capable of a wide variety of tone (timbre) controls and special effects. These range from imitating acoustic instruments to creating innumerable sound effects. Synthesists take pride in their ability to create unique sounds. Therefore, the arranger must supply ex~icit written instructions on a synthesizer part to communicate the desired sound. The following are examples of typical instructions. They include a description of tone and attack, and, if appropriate, an acoustic instrument reference sound:

a) bright - percussive - brass sound b) dark - soft - cello sound c) bright - percussive - clavinet sound d) dark - legato - double reed sound e) distorted and screaming rock guitar f) dark - percussive marimba sound

B. TWO STAVE CaMPING NOTATION

A two stave system consisting of treble and bass clef, or in some cases, two identical clefs, should be used for keyboard parts when:

1) both right hand comping voicings and a specific left hand bass pnrt are to be pl ayed .It the s.1me tIme

2) specific voicings require both right and left hands 3) more than one keyboard is to be played by the same player 4) both a right hand melody and a specific left hand

accompaniment are to be played at the same time or 5) an arrangement is to be published.

The two following examples demonstrate specific right hand voicings and a left hand bass part which are to be played together.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

I would like to give special thanks to Ted Pease-Division Chairman of Professional Writing and Robert Freedman-Department Chairman of Commercial Arranging for their guidance and direction in this project. For without their help, this book would not have been possible. Also, special thanks to Carlos Queral for music copying and layout.
